I will open quick switcher with CTRL+O on Windows. The latest version of Obsidian is installed. And start typing.
Expected result
I would expect that depending on what I am typing results will show up so that I can select one and switch to the actual sub-page/site.
Actual result
Obsidian freezes and nothing will happen I can start typing, no recommendations will show up. When I have not typed something yet I am able to close the quick switcher with hitting ESC. After I have typed something it won’t close anymore unless I hit Backspace as many times as I have written characters. Then again, I can close by hitting ESC. If I have written something and hit any arrow keys or Enter Obsidian freezes completely and I won’t be able to return/close by hitting ESC.
Environment
Operating system: Windows 10 Version 1909
Obsidian version: latest (v0.08.4)
Additional information

I am using icons within somefilenames and foldernames. I would believe that this causes these issues but I am not certain.
Hi there sorry for the late reply. So removing the emojis helped a bit but still the search crashes every few uses. What would be forbidden characters? I will try deleting the cache.
So I did just check all the filenames in my vault and there are no “forbidden” characters used. So since I removed the emojis the behavior has changed to: work one time after I first open Obsidian and then to just crash again when opening it second time.
I will try to see if the issue still exists if I create a compleatly new vault.
